about

After two years of hard work, now Arcanus put out their first EP, ‘Ashes’, a taste of the band’s sound, which has evolved at a steady pace from its very beginning. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mr. Ax (Crisix, Obsidian Kingdom, Vivid Remorse) at Barcelona Axtudios in August and September 2016, ‘Ashes’ features session bassist Denis Fernández (former member of Innvoid and of the Cuban band Alyanza).

‘Ashes’ is a compendium that intertwines the primitive ideas of the groove metal of the 90’s and the roots of a modern really dark death metal. From the first riff of “Emptiness” to the last and diabolical notes of “Infinite Denial”, ‘Ashes’ takes you to the Middle East wars by the hand of “Oceans Of Blood”, to the empty bleakness of “Struggling With Pain” and to the bold forcefulness of “Never Betray”, which was the first song written by Arcanus and stands as the most direct track of the EP.

The artwork, created by the Portuguese artist Gustavo Sazes (Arch Enemy, Amaranthe, Morbid Angel), represents Phoenix rising from the ashes of hell. Who knows what else could emerge from them?
